The Burning Life

As you get older
if you let it
so much of that anger
so fierce and right
built by injustices
brought to light
and experienced
so deeply
becomes like a pepper
taken at night
outrage liquifies into purifying sweat
hatred melts
merges with the blood
and suddenly you see
so clearly
how the world is filled
every single square inch of it
with tiny blossoms
so fragile and
so strong
